Chapter XVII

On the obscure and mysterious path of magic, every magician who tries to explore the magical world and take even a small step forward is a treasure trove of time. The youngest mage to ascend to the highest glory of a mage for thousands of years was sixty-seven years old. And almost all mages know that the Holy Dome Mage is not the end of the wizarding world, it can even be said to be a starting point. As a result, every ambitious magician has taken time to the extreme.

The two great magicians Michelle and Michelangeline, who were climbing towards the obscure realm of the magical sage, were invited by Burnham to the Porsan Manor, and they were not prepared to stay in the Porsan Manor for a long time.

To be precise, there are several Codex written five or six hundred years ago by Cardinal Fiesti of the Holy Holy See of Noxu, a magician who has stood in the position of a magical sage, and this book is only a dozen thin pages of paper with arguments about space, magic, and weights. Therefore, the two great magicians came not so much because of Burnham's favor, but because of this book "Space and Magic".

Fortunately, in the field of magic, there is a treatise on discursive rather than verifiable treatises. The thickness of a book is often inversely proportional to its difficulty and obscurity. Therefore, the two great magicians wanted to thoroughly study and understand this explanatory treatise, "Space and Magic", which could not be completed in a day or two.

However, the two magicians, who cherish their time to the extreme, are unwilling to waste a penny of their time in the outside world, so Burnham's command to train Augustus with magic becomes more and more simplistic. From the initial end of training with fifteen or sixteen minutes throwing hundreds of magic fireballs, to summoning two flame whales with a thick fire elemental aura in an instant, let Augustus, a knight madman, fight with two flame whales that had lost control, and then, the battle was over, and he left calmly.

Or sometimes they think that two flame whales or a three-meter-long snake lady Dumesha is not enough to end the battle quickly, and they will throw a few fireballs or a few wind blades in the middle of the way, and shoot them at Augustus's deadly parts without mercy.

This scene of Augustus being put in death did not contradict General Burnham's orders, in fact General Burnham invited them to Porsan Manor with only one sentence: "The evil necromancer will throw all into death." Hope can seek the power of eternal life. A powerful knight can only break through the confinement of the realm and go further and further on the path of knighthood only by basing himself on the path of death. ”

A knight who is not prepared to dodge the magician's magic, even if he is one level higher at the same level, has only one easy way to defeat the magician. "To control the distance is to control the distance, I am God", a phrase that has been sung in the wizarding world for thousands of years, is a perfect interpretation of Augustus.

The knights, who were already familiar with Augustus's exhaustion and collapse on the training ground, continued to train in an orderly manner. Seon stepped forward and handed Augustus a brand new outfit to change into.

His face was a little pale, Augustus glanced at Alista, who usually spent almost all of his time training, but now stood behind him, smiled slightly, and said, "Alista." There are only two endings for you when you walk into the Colosseum: One, carry the gold coins I won to do what you want to do, and sleep forever in the Colosseum with the gold coins I lost! ”

Alista, who was usually silent, looked at Augustus, and his eyes suddenly bloomed with a bright light, and said, "Young Master Augustus, I will let you see my value!" ”

Augustus, who heard Alysta speak for the second time, was a little surprised, and then looked at the two black horns nearly half a meter long on the top of Alista's head, and said softly: "I hope that a thousand years ago, there will be a minotaur warrior who killed the entire knights of the Holy Hall Knights to reappear in the world." ”

――――――

Almost everyone in St. Peter's knows about Augustus, a strange figure who was seized twice in a row by General Burnham, and the imperial capital has been talking about Augustus for the last few days. The all-powerful inhabitants of Noxus are superimposed. In a short period of time, a lot of Augustus deeds have been excavated, such as in the defense of Sark City, Augustus led the Knights of the Hundred Leaves into the hinterland of the Dawning Legion, and when the city of Essecoa fought against the Dreadnought Legion of the First Legion of Demacia, the fledgling Augustus tore the terrifying record of at least twenty median knights. Received a second Iron Oak Medal.

There are still many people in the market who tell stories about the relationship between Augustus and Lux, the first beauty of Demacia, and many even deduce that this is one of the reasons why Augustus's two Iron Oak Medals were seized in General Burnham. This made Augustus, who walked on the street but was not recognized as the protagonist of the story, August, a little helpless, and his heart was full of slander: there are no eyes.

Before sending Alista to the archway of the Fein Slave Exchange, Augustus tied it directly to his waist. The bag full of 700 scattered gold coins was thrown directly to Alista, and said, "If you are still alive, finish your own business and return to Polshan Manor!" With that, Augustus departed in style.

Alista stared blankly at Augustus' departing back. The eyes are red. He didn't ask curiously why Augustus believed that he wouldn't run away with a huge amount of gold coins, but at this moment he looked at Augustus's back, and a warm feeling of trust rose in the heart of Alista, a sincere and honest minotaur.

"Seven hundred gold coins in exchange for the loyalty of a minotaur warrior, are there a few things in this world that can be more cost-effective??" Augustus smiled faintly and whispered to himself.

The permafrost tundra, with its blizzard country, is not a comfortable place. Over the centuries, Noxus has sent troops to the permafrost tundra more than once, but the results have not been satisfactory.

Not only were the soldiers of Noxus unable to adapt to the cold and dry environment, but the tribes of the permafrost tundra were also a formidable force that Noxus could not conquer or overcome. The dozen or so expeditions sent in the past were defeated by the tribes of the permafrost tundra, and only a few soldiers returned to Noxus in disarray.

Demacia is Noxus' arch-enemy, and the permafrost tundra, a vast territory occupied by only a few indigenous tribes, is a nightmare for Noxus. Few soldiers went to the permafrost tundra, and even the brave knights were mostly reluctant to carry out an operation of conquest that had no meaning, no glory, and even risked their lives.

Eventually, Burnham gave the task to Augustus.

Augustus, who had been to the permafrost tundra region with the expeditionary force during the Holy War, had a good understanding of the permafrost tundra and the tribes on it. According to the patriarch of a weak tribe that lived in the permafrost tundra at that time, it turned out that this cold and dry permafrost tundra had a glorious history, and at that time, the tribes of the permafrost tundra had a common name, Ferreljord!

There are three powerful tribes in the permafrost tundra that is still home to the land of the blizzard, and this generation is led by three legendary sisters who lead their respective tribes to fight: - Princess Mavle: the ascetic tribe of the Ice Dancer; Princess Huani: The Winterclaw tribe of Winterclaw; Princess Ash: The Ice Shooter tribe of the Ice Shooters

Without waiting for Augustus and the others to understand in too much detail, a sudden battle began on the permafrost tundra, and then Augustus and the proud expeditionary force were defeated by the tribes on the permafrost tundra without warning. Eventually, a small part of the army was retained and returned to the territory of Noxus.

This is one of the few defeats of Augustus in the Holy War, and it is also the deepest memory of Augustus's defeat. "General Burnham, this is a severe test!" Augustus sighed, and then Augustus perked up and muttered, "Difficulty is difficulty, but it is better than boring!" ”

Expeditionary Army? Hehe, those twenty servants and even the Minotaur Alista, who had returned to him from the Colosseum, were just pawns of Augustus on the permafrost tundra that could be sacrificed at any time.

There are two faces in everyone, but few people can see another face of Augustus who is cold, cruel, intellectually cruel, and outrageously cruel.

――――

"As a knight about to be appointed by the Empire, you should not visit any nobleman who has anything to do with the appointment, have you forgotten that? Octavian! "In front of a vicissitudes of Gothic building. General Du Kekao, known as the soul of the Imperial Army, looked indifferently at the young knight in front of him, who had made a standard salute and had the Iron Oak Medal on his chest, which any soldier could only dream of, and said in a cold voice without any emotion.

Octavian, who was born as a civilian, stood respectfully in front of the Imperial soldier in front of him, and his slightly raised eyes flashed a fanatical adoration that was very common for Noxian soldiers when facing General Du Kecao in front of him, but the fanatical adoration in the eyes of Octavian, who had won the Order of Iron Oak, was obviously full of reason.

Octavian was a little nervous in the face of Du Kecao's indifferent face that rejected people from thousands of miles away, but there was no fear in his eyes that he did not have the fear of ordinary commoners and ordinary nobles, and he carefully removed the Iron Oak Medal, which symbolized the highest glory of the Noxian soldiers, from his chest. He said, "General Du Kekao, could you please pass on this Iron Oak Medal to Miss Caterina?" ”

Looking at the medal, a faint smile appeared on General Du Kekao's grim face, and he said, "Octavian. Can you tell me what this is? A token of love? ”

Chatting with the nobles and ladies in the Aegustine Cathedral, Octavian's face flashed with a blush, and then he smiled bitterly: "I don't deserve this Iron Oak Medal, it belongs to Miss Caterina." ”

Du Kecao stepped forward and looked at the man in front of him, who was one of the few in the younger generation and had a good impression. A young man who had a fierce style in the Holy War, a keen sense of smell for fighters, and an outstanding talent, he picked up the Iron Oak Medal and looked at it. He then put him into Octavian's hands and calmly refused: "Caterina will not accept your Iron Oak Medal, and she doesn't need a small Iron Oak Medal to prove herself!" Octavian, I tell you as a man: if you want to conquer a great woman, you must only make yourself greater than that woman, so that you can have a chance to conquer her! If you want to be my son-in-law du Quekao, Katerina's husband must be stronger than her and even stronger than me. ”

Octavian's expression remained unchanged, but he had secretly clenched his fists, withdrew the Iron Oak Medal into his arms, looked at the back of the great man in front of him, who had been chasing him constantly, and said, "Yes, General Du Kekao. ”

Immediately, Octavian left.

Looking at Octavian's resolute back as he left, Du Kecao casually plucked a reddish maple leaf from the maple tree beside him, put it into the corner of his mouth, and said calmly: "I really hope that who will conquer my daughter of General Du Kekao?" Was it the strong-willed Octavian? Or is it the outrageously sane Augustus, or is it Tyrone, the god of death hidden in the dark? I'm looking forward to it! ”

Looking back, Du Qucao couldn't help but chuckle at the fact that a small accident had created a woman that most men looked up to.

A slender figure slowly appeared in front of General Du Kecao very untimely, scratched his head embarrassedly, and said, "General Du Kekao, it seems that I have come at an inopportune time!" ”
